wise man

Outside Hongmeng, the imperial capital, there is a long pavilion ten miles away. A sudden rain stopped Yang Zhen, Bo Ling and Xiaoba from traveling, so they took shelter from the rain in the long pavilion.

"Commander, you said how lonely our master is alone in the palace." Xiao Ba whispered to Bo Ling behind Yang Zhen's back.

"The affairs of the country are so heavy, he probably won't have time to be lonely, right?" Bo Ling said.

"But you always sleep alone at night, don't you?"

"You will worry about the master's affairs."

"Of course. It is the master who made us perfect. I am grateful to him, and I will do my best for him in this life and the next life." Xiaoba vowed.

Bo Ling nodded: "I just hope that His Highness will become king soon and establish a separate palace, then we can follow him without any scruples."

Although their voices were soft, Yang Zhen still heard every word, and couldn't help whispering: "I also hope that he will have his own palace soon, so that he won't be bound by many rules in the palace."

Just thinking about the queen and many concubines in the palace, Yang Zhen felt his scalp go numb.He was glad that he was hiding in Changzhou County, where there were mountains and rivers, and those simple people, as well as a few colleagues in the yamen who got along harmoniously, the world was open.

Xiao Ba suddenly thought of something: "It will be three months soon? My lord and His Highness can get married. It's just that we have to live in two places after we get married. I don't know when we can be together. This emperor never understands the beauty of adults, and only makes things difficult for others." ..."

"Little Ba!" Bo Ling shouted to stop him, "Absurdly talk about the Holy Majesty, do you want to kill yourself?"

Xiao Ba muttered, "It's just between the three of us, what are we afraid of?"

Yang Zhen smiled and said, "I'm already very satisfied to have today, so why not live in love with each other..."

The hiss of a horse came from the rain, interrupting Yang Zhen's words.The three of them couldn't help looking around, and saw a green-covered carriage galloping towards them from the rain. The driver was a big man with a beard. There were six warriors on the left, right, and rear of the carriage. They wore bamboo hats on their heads. Like the people of Xuanguo, they have a bit of western aggressiveness.

Both the groom and the samurai were wet, and the wind blew the raindrops in through the car windows. The people inside probably didn't want to get wet from the rain, so they came to this pavilion to take shelter from the rain.

The carriage came to a halt in front of the pavilion, and the bearded man said: "Young master, there are people in the pavilion." He was speaking in Xuan Guo dialect.

Yang Zhen said: "To avoid the rain, let's squeeze together." He took the initiative to make room.

A person got out of the carriage, stepped into the pavilion with one step, and stood right in front of Yang Zhen, his movements were a little violent, as if he was aiming at Yang Zhen.Yang Zhen took a step back involuntarily, and Xiao Ba put his hand on the sword by his waist like a conditioned reflex.

The man hooked his lips: "If you guard me so much, do I look like a bad guy?"

Yang Zhen raised her eyes, met the man's eyes, and couldn't help being taken aback.This person's pupils are lighter than others, close to dark gray. At first glance, it looks foggy, but if you look closely, you will find that the eyes seem to have a strange magic power, wanting to devour others.

Yang Zhen felt a little uncomfortable. He saw these eyes staring at him very aggressively.

Then he saw the man's appearance clearly.He was a head taller than him, wearing a light purple robe, the fabric and embroidery were extremely gorgeous.The skin is very fair, the bridge of the nose is high, and the eye sockets are somewhat sunken.

Yang Zhen, who traveled from modern times, immediately thought of a word: mixed race.

A handsome mixed-race kid, but the way he looks at him really makes him shudder.He couldn't help frowning, and looked away.

Xiao Ba walked up to Yang Zhen calmly and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"

The man raised his eyebrows, as if he thought it was interesting, but he didn't answer.The bearded man driving the chariot stood in the rain, and the six warriors also stood upright in the rain, motionless.Looking at the situation, this person has a special status.

Yang Zhen said: "Little Ba, we met by chance, why ask so many questions?"

Hearing this, the man smiled and said, "My name is San Yiluo." His gaze passed over Xiaoba and landed on Yang Zhen, because of his tall stature, he felt condescending.

Bo Ling was taken aback: "You are San Yiluo, the eldest prince of the San Kingdom?"

San Yiluo looked at him: "It seems that you are not an ordinary person, not many people in Xuanguo know my name."

Bo Ling said: "I am the guard of Duke Duanguo's mansion. The prince once came to Hongmeng. I followed my master to the palace banquet and met the prince. But it has been many years, I don't remember it anymore. It's just that your name is very special. , so I still remember."

Yang Zhen had never heard of the name "San Guo", and she didn't know what the word "Yi Luo" was, so she looked at Bo Ling questioningly.

Bo Ling said: "My lord, the Kingdom of San is outside the Xisan Pass. The current king's surname is changed to San Yi. If appropriate, his name is San Yi Sheng. This eldest prince is called Luo, Luo of Luoshui."

It was the first time he had heard of this strange surname Yang Zhen, but he felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't delve into it.

But San Yiluo seemed to be particularly interested in him, and asked Bo Ling, "Since you are the guard of Duan Guogong's mansion, this 'lord' is supposed to be Duan Guogong's son?"

Yang Zhen said: "No, I'm just an ordinary servant of the Duke's mansion. I was cultivated by the master and became the county magistrate."

"Oh? Your Excellency does not seem to be ordinary, but a rare talent. Disrespect and disrespect, dare to ask your name?"

Yang Zhen saw that he was polite, so he had no choice but to say: "My servant is Yang Zhen."

There was a gleam in San Yiluo's eyes, he smiled slightly, and bowed his hands in Xuanguo's hands: "Master Yang."

Yang Zhen returned the courtesy and said, "I dare not. The prince is here to declare the country..."

"I'm here to visit relatives, not state affairs." San Yiluo said, "My mother is from Xuanguo."

Yang Zhen nodded, and had nothing to say again.

Fortunately, the rain stopped not long after, San Yiluo said: "Master Yang, please." Yang Zhen said: "Prince please first." San Yiluo said: "Okay, then I will not be polite. Yang Zhen My lord, we should meet again by fate." He got into the carriage, opened the curtains, and waved to Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen felt that this person was inexplicable and a little familiar, but he didn't take it to heart.

It was night after returning to the palace, the air after the rain was exceptionally fresh, and even the lit palace lanterns were a little more elegant.Yang Zhen returned home like an arrow, and went straight to Xinhe Palace.

Chen Shoushi was about to eat, when he heard that Yang Zhen had returned, he immediately strode out to greet him.

"Your Highness!" Yang Zhen just called out, and was embraced into a warm embrace. The familiar breath lingered in an instant, and he breathed greedily, whispering in his ear: "Husband, I really want to you."

Chen Shoushi held his face in his hands, kissed him fondly, and touched his soft lips together: "Me too."

Yang Zhen blushed and said, "Husband, they are all here." He looked at the maids, eunuchs and guards with different expressions in embarrassment.

Chen Shoushi turned his face, and ordered: "Rui Zhu Lu Zhu, you go to buy more tableware and bring wine. Bo Ling and Xiao Ba, you should come and have dinner together." Bo Ling and Xiao Ba wisely declined.

The wine was filled, Chen Shoushi was full of smiles, and his face under the light became more and more handsome like a god.He looked at Yang Zhen with good eyes. He hadn't seen him for more than two months. Yang Zhen became thinner and darker, but his expression and demeanor became more confident and calm, and he had a faint demeanor of everyone.

He couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

Yang Zhen was looked at by him like this, and he couldn't help thinking of what Master Qiulin said: "Your master ascended the throne and became the most wise monarch in the history of Xuan Kingdom." He felt the way Chen Shoushi looked at him at this moment , like a monarch looking at his most admired courtier.

It must be his own illusion, he shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Chen Shoushi asked.

"It's nothing."

"How is the county magistrate? Are you tired? Have you encountered any problems?"

Yang Zhen slandered: How dare you call me back to report on my work?He said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Highness, I am already familiar with the affairs of my job. Although I don't dare to say that I am handy now, at least everything is in place. I work hard at work all day and night, and I dare not lose His Highness's face..."

Chen Shoushi stretched out his arms, and made another familiar movement: he twisted his face, and scolded with a smile: "I still think you have grown up, but who knows that you are still so skinny. I am not your boss, you don't need to report to me, I am I only asked because I cared about you."

Yang Zhen smiled mischievously, and thought, who told me to cross over and become?The original Yang Zhen must have affected my xinxing. I am quite stable in modern times, no, it is simply too boring.

"Yes, yes, I dare to be so skinny because my husband dotes on me. How dare I be in the past?"

Chen Shoushi couldn't help but smile reminiscently when he thought of the previous situation.

Yang Zhen remembered the Sanyiluo she met on the road, so she told Chen Shoushi about it: "This person came to Xuanguo to visit relatives, and said his mother is from Xuanguo, husband, do you know who it is?"

Chen Shoushi frowned: "Sanyiluo?"

"what happened?"

Chen Shoushi looked a little heavy, and said: "Sanguo is a small country in the west, and the people are aggressive. Originally, the tribes mixed together and fought with each other, and it was not peaceful. Sanyiluo's grandfather was a wolf-like man with an iron fist. He conquered all the tribes. , became the king of Sanguo.

"This man is ambitious and has repeatedly invaded our northwest frontier. At that time, the late emperor was in power, and the state of Xuan was defeated by the scattered kingdoms. He had to cede the land for peace, and even married a princess to make peace. At that time, my mother was still young, and the late emperor sent the old Marquis Anping's daughter, Sang, was made a princess and married. This daughter of Sang is San Yiluo's mother, and she and the queen are close friends."

Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, "Are they still dating?"

Chen Shoushi said: "I don't know about this. I only met Sanyiluo once, and it was four or five years ago. The Sang family did not come. When Sanyiluo came to court, something unpleasant happened. Very annoyed. But considering that the relationship between the two countries is still acceptable, I chose to calm down."

"What happened?" Yang Zhen felt that it was a very bad thing.

"San Yiluo had drunk sex and raped Hanlin scholar Lin Zijun. He was a handsome man with many talents."

Yang Zhen gasped, he thought of the way San Yiluo looked at him, and the sentence "We should get together again by fate", he felt bad all over.

Chen Shoushi asked sensitively, "Did he do something to you?"

"No, he just looks at people... like a wolf."

Chen Shoushi's face sank, and he said: "If he appears in front of you and looks at you like a wolf again, I will goug out his eyes!"
